Raid Driver Help

[Demon86rjc]

How Can I Add A Driver To My Windows CD Using Nlite? I Have Nlite Installed And My Windows CD Coped On To My Comp. How Do I Incorporate A Driver In To The Widows CD Dir? So That When I Do A Fresh Install I Don’t Have To Load The Drive Off A Floppy, During The Installation.

It’s A Raid Driver: Files Contain:

viamraid.cat

VIAMRAID.INF

viamraid.sys

I Tried To Do It By Incorporating The VIAMRAID.INF But It Didn’t Load, On Start Up.

Please Help

Thanks In Advance

You need 2 more files...

TXTSETUP.OEM Is a MUST!!!

plus I do beleive it only works properly if you have whql drivers. Henceforth you need official drivers that have the oem and cat files...

You can use the following to create a slipstreamed CD/DVD:

For a tutorial on the above:

I have a "Master" DVD that I use to install XP (separate DVD's for Home, Pro etc.)

it finds all the drivers on the PC and does not need the "F6" diskette for RAID drivers.

You can use NLite

http://www.nliteos.com/download.html

to create your bootable CD/DVD, it puts the boot tracks in properly and many "tweaks".

Also look at RyanVM:

Update Pack 2.1.11 installs most of the MS updates into the master DVD.

Also:

These work with NLite

Looks like a lot of work, but once the DVD is made it's good for a couple of months.

Hope this is what you are looking for.
